What?? Going a trip and I get to know like 2 hours before we departure?? So, I woke up immediately and get ready myself lo... ... Together with my 2 aunty and 2 cousins, we went there by 12.30pm.
It was a long journey I would say. It took us almost 2 to 3 hours to get there =) My mum's "tai chi" friends were the one who wanted this trip. Since we reached there pretty late, we decided to travel our own.
However, it was pretty late already by then. Many places were closing and apparently the traffic there is bad. We stayed at the 1st station of Cameron Highlands which is Ringlet.
Ringlet is kind of away from the main city, Tanah Rata and many visitation place is near there. So, we have to travel up hill as well to get to those strawberry farm, cactus park... ...
Because of time constrain, we only managed to visit the so called strawberry park but we can't get in because it was closed. We can only see it from outside lo =(
We also managed to visit the BOH tea plantation area.
Since there were no more place to visit, we went to the pasar malam in Cameron Highlands. Aunty started to buy vegetables, strawberries and food =) The price of goodies went down when we walked ourselves further down the street.
At first, 5 packets of assorted vege sell at the price of RM10. Then, 8 packets for RM10; finally, 12 packets for RM10!!! Same goes to the strawberries!! The further we walked down the street, the larger the packaging and they are selling at the same price!!
We went back to hotel around 8pm and ate dinner, steamboat ^^ All our meals were being prepared because one of my mum's friend. So what we do is just eat =)
After our dinner, we went in to sleep. As usual, I have a restless night because of the place and I'm not used to sleep with someone in one bed =(
We have to woke up early the next day, 7am =) We have to visit few places in one goal and we need to make it before afternoon to enable us to go to Sungkai.
The 1st stop was another tea plantation, Cameron Valley.
Unlike the last trip I came, all the strawberries farm not allowed close distance "viewership". So, we only can see it with a fence separating us lo... ...
One of my mum's friend has a relative here in Cameron. They run a vegetable farm =) We have the pleasure to pay a visit at the farm!! The farm is located at another end of Cameron Highlands.
So, we have to drive all the way up hill and go to another end of Cameron =( It was tiring wei... ... Pity my dad need to drive up and down... ...
Farms were huge and there was no proper road for normal vehicle to drive in. Guess what we sit?? Some sort of jeep that fetches the crops down hill!!
This is where we get to see how vegetable was being planted... Tomatoes, cabbages, chilies, brinjal... ...
cabbage...
chilies...
tomatoes...
We headed back to hotel and had our lunch, late lunch... ... We canceled the trip to Sungkai because apparently it was closed by 6pm =( Children were sad about it because they can't play water / swimming... ...
Luckily there was an article about Sungkai on Saturday newspaper. My mum flipped the news to check whether there is any number that we can call to double confirm. Upon checking, we found out that the operation time is from 9am to 10pm!!
Hurray!! Plan changed again. We are heading to the Hot Springs ^^
There were notice boards telling us how many minutes you should cook your egg to get 1/4 cook, 1/2 cook... ...
It was a fun trip although I have been to Cameron lately... Spending time with your family can buy with money!! I love all of you ^^
Love,
